Agreed--and it isn't like the only people saying it are what some would label 'far out lefties'--we have seen an increasing consensus by many lawmakers, etc. that Iraq is in fact a disaster. From what I can tell it is the media (or certain media outlets) that insist on equating the President's view of the war with Republicans--that simply isn't that case. There is broad agreement with your sentiment (one that I obviously share).
I'm guessing the host was a student trying to act like the many talking heads he/she desires to emulate...that or they were injecting their own ideological view into the interview.

A suggestion.
Having listened to a number of talk radio shows form one end of the spectrum to the other (both frequency and political). On the better ones, broad statements like “XXX (has turned into ) (is) (was) a colossal disaster,” even when perfectly true are not encouraged, even when they support the host, because they do not help the host build audience. That's true from any perspective. Two short points’s from which some one who is not hopelessly ideological would see your conclusion help the host build an audience. The host can do something with follow up questions that make an interesting program. Broad statements are usually dismissed to get on to something interesting, though often with a little more class than your host.
Hank,
Thanks. In all fairness, these were college kids and I don't want to imply that they were anything other than a blast.
Golly, and Bush said today the US is staying in Iraq for the next 60 years.
